  • The Pictured Child in Victorian Philanthropy 1869-1908 Heather
    The pictured child in Victorian philanthropy 1869-1908 HeatherParis April 2001 Submitted for the award of PhD Awarding body: University of Central Lancashire Total numberof volumes:2 Volume I of 2 Abstract This study sets out to investigate the nature of the Victorian child's standing in society using pictorial means. It takes the view that the picture, or visual image, has something important to tell us about attitudes towards childhood, and how children were regarded as a group, between 1869 and 1908. As a piece of scholarship, it is situated between the disciplines of art history and social history. Little work has been done on the child's visual representation, and its contribution to the historical record. The rich visual material that forms part of the archive of Victorian philanthropy in general, and temperance in particular, remains largely untapped. The study is a response to this scholarly neglect, with the uses made by charity of the pictured child forming its central site of inquiry. Philanthropic images of childhood will be set in their pictorial context by reference to their appearance in other parts of the public domain. The history of the relationship between adults and children has been called `age relations' by one historian. This study will apply general and specific practical approaches, drawn from critical visual techniques, to age relations, leading to an interpretation of how Victorian childhood was pictured for its audiences. Images will be approached as pictorial puzzles, and priority will be given to those solutions which formed part of the historical record. The main analytical tool to be usedis adoptedfrom critical theory's notion of the metapicture.

  • Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
    Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12.

By examining in sequence the work of Wyndham Lewis, Michael Ayrton, Mervyn Peake and David Jones, the organisers of that series were attempting to set out the relationship (and sometimes the interdependence) which existed between the verba I and graphic expression of men skilled in both modes.

  • TARS Library Catalogue
    TARS Library The main purpose of TARS is 'to celebrate and promote the life and woks of Arthur Ransome', and a big part of that is the Society's own Library, with over 1000 books and other material. There are books written about his life, including the time he spent in Russia, reporting about events during the Revolution, and about his early life and how he came to be a writer in the first place. Ransome was the very first winner of the Carnegie Medal awarded by the Library Association (now CILIP) for an outstanding children's book, with Pigeon Post in 1937. The Medal is still presented every year, and we have every single winning book, right up to the present: almost a unique collection. We also have many other children's books, old and new, as well as the Swallows and Amazons series in several different languages. Arthur Ransome had so many interests and he owned books on all of them, and the Library has books on all of those subjects too – sailing, of course, fishing, natural history, crime novels, books by his favourite authors, such as Robert Louis Stevenson (a complete collection of his works) the Lake District, the Norfolk Broads, and even chess! Truly something for everyone, so why not take a look at the complete list here? Then, when you have joined TARS, there are a number of ways you can borrow a book: by e-mailing or writing to the Librarian and having it posted to you – you only need pay the return postage; by visiting the wonderful Moat Brae, home of Peter Pan, in Dumfries and arranging to see the actual Library there; or by attending the no less wonderful Literary Weekends, once every 2 years (next in 2021), where there is always a wide selection of books from the Library to browse.
